Strawberry season. Searching for ripe, juicy berries out in the field. Canning strawberry jam at my great-grandmother's home on the edge of the strawberry field. Baking lots of strawberry pies and selling them at Farmers Markets. 
Driving down the back roads with the windows down. The excitement of getting new tractor service clients. Daddy always buying me a cold Mountain Dew whenever we do tractor service work together. Finding reasons to "need to go to Hertford" for a 60 cent butter pecan ice cream cone at Woodard's Pharmacy. 
Watching the sunset on the river as I hurry to finish bushhogging for the night. Early mornings on the river. Putting our jet-skis out in the river. Cleaning up and then going to 3 Amigos for a late supper.
Flowing, feminine skirts. Cute pastel colored outfits. White sundresses. Flip flops. Painted toe nails. Salads with freshly picked produce from the garden. 
Occasional family outings. Going to the beach as a family. Vacations. Cookouts. Freshly cut flowers. 
Happy first week of spring!

I've never seen or eaten a strawberry pie... would you be willing to share your recipe with me??? I'll keep an eye on my emails in case you decide you don't mind sharing it ;)
